Annual General Meeting + Pay Equity Settlement

AMUSE is holding its 2019 Annual General Meeting on Thursday, January 31 at 6pm in Leacock 26.
All members are encouraged to attend to vote and/or run for election,
hear annual reports, and vote on the 2019-20 budget, among other items.

All
AMUSE terms are for one year, so all Executive positions except for VP
Floor Fellow (President, Internal Affairs Officer, Labour Relations
Officer, Communications & Outreach Officer, Treasurer), along with
10 of our 12 Board Delegate seats, will be up for election. We encourage
anyone interested in running, especially for an Executive position, to
get in touch to learn more about the role. You can find a general
outline of duties in Article 12 of our by-laws.
At this time, we know that AMUSE’s current Treasurer will not be
presenting for re-election, so we particularly encourage anyone
interested in that position to reach out!

Pay Equity Settlement

Following a lengthy conciliation process, AMUSE and McGill reached a settlement agreement in December to resolve our pay equity complaints from 2010 and 2015. As a result, AMUSE Unit A members dating back to 2010 will receive a retroactive pay increase.

If
you worked as an AMUSE casual (whether Class A, B, or C) or a MUNACA
replacement worker anytime between December 21, 2010 and December 7,
2018, then you are included in this settlement (Floor Fellows are Unit B
members, and are not affected). The amount of money owed to you by
McGill increases according to how recently and how much (calculated by
the amount of hours) you have worked at McGill.

Because
thousands of AMUSE workers are affected over a period dating back up to
eight years, the process will take some time. Neither AMUSE nor McGill
are currently able to provide specific information regarding individual
files. Present and past AMUSE members will be contacted directly about
their retroactive payments in the coming months; if you are currently
working, you should be contacted and paid by McGill within the next 60
days. We will also be sending further details for anyone needing to
update their contact information — please continue to read our
newsletters and check our website for updates as the process gets
underway.
